H. (hanthe) | 72 comments So...Alexandre Dumas has a lot of versions listed just under Dumas.

Found them starting from here (needs combining?):
(correct full name) https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
(just Dumas) https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

Which led to this entire list of just Dumas's, with zero or only a few ratings:
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

Renske | 12222 comments There are two authors named Alexandre Dumas, father and son, and the Dumas profile contains books of both authors, so we can't merge this profile with one of them, each book need to be moved to the right author.

Emy (emypt) | 5037 comments Oh not again :( I did loads on this last year, but I'm beginning to feel that Dumas is another neverending task...


Elizabeth (Alaska) I'll work on this a little today.


Elizabeth (Alaska) Sigh. I've been working on this a few at a time, sometimes skipping days. But I see that there are some that were imported late March. The list doesn't seem to be dwindling. :-(

And while I was working on him, I stumbled across Zola, just in case I needed further diversion.


Elizabeth (Alaska) Apparently someone merged the Dumas entries. I don't know if there were some for Dumas, fils or not.


Elizabeth (Alaska) I think this project is completed. I removed the Zola entries that belonged to Émile Zola. The remaining ones appear to belong to a single name Zola.
